LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Note: This article contains spoilers for St. Denis Medical Season 2, Episode 5, "A Strong Cup of Coffee"

Monday's episode of St. Denis Medical confirms speculation about nurse Val's love life. Kaliko Kauahi, who plays Val, says her character will still keep her love life private moving forward.

In a recent Zoom interview with UPI, Kauahi said Season 1 hinted that Val is gay because she mentioned dating a person named Shelly. In the new episode, she asks Joyce (Wendi McLendon-Covey), "You know I'm gay, right?"

"It's a little more vague in Season 1," Kauahi said. "In Season 2, we're like, let's just say."
